Driven both, been in a lot of fast/quick cars. Its hard to compare the Evo to any of these cars. Just depends on what you like. Im not hating on the vette as I love them, but its a GM and like Dan said, trying to compare their interiors is...

When I don't have my vr4, I have my suburban and once I get back, I'll have my '76 colt galant to drive once I get a couple electrical issues fixed.

Well I would love to have my old MKIV Supra or the next one I almost had.

What would I do in general besides work on/drive my Evo? Fly my RC helicopters! Love em!

I am going to use a 94 Bravada for sleeper aspect and initial investment. Jake is thinking about doing a late model Syclone (basically) and leaving his Typhoon alone. The LQ4 (5.3) is tough stock, cheap and plentiful, and fully capable of pushing a single S374.

Ive thought Bravada too but I really prefer the interior in a 98+, my 97 was just a **** box.

Though a Bravada would be much easier since its awd already.

Its actually all the same drivetrain as the Typhoon minus the turbos. The 4.3 and weak tranny are gonna go buhbye, and then a 5.3 and either TH400 or 4L80E. I would like to drop a corporate 8.5" rear end in as well....but that will only happen as I break parts.

I need to find a dual carb setup and a Mitsu rwd 5spd, for a narrowblock, for my '76. Maybe build a 4g63 on the side for a rwd setup when I get bored of the stock 4g32.
